FANNING *C! >* i* i WEST MAHANOY TOWNSHIP, || which met Port Carbon in the class B quarter finals Saturday is cer- || tainly making strides forward. This year's club is the second in the history j of the school which has been in a new ; building for years. The entire starting team is composed of Seniors. The* won 18 and lost 7 during the season and played some; of the best clubs in their section. Two of the teams were among the leading Scorers in the North Schuylkill Lea-1 gue in which West Mahanoy finished well up. Team In Making Northumberland dropped down to Class B in the tourney in order that it could see what some of the youngsters in the school could accomplish. The team used against Warrior Run and defeated 41 to 25 was composed ofentirely Freshmen and Sophomores. They held a good Warrior Run club on even terms during the first half but could not retain the pace. The floor was slippery when this game was underway, the result of a dance held the previous evening. The boards were scrubbed once before the games started Friday and again during the afternoon. The second washing gained the desired result.Warrior Bua Classy Warrior Run, which opposed Porter i Township in the B quarter finals Saturday evening, featured a fine shot in; John Pawloski, center, who was par-' ticularly fast in the second half dur- j ing which he launched 7 successful outllde shots. He and Fred Priestman, ft forward, both seniors, are completing their third year of varsity competition John Munchor, a guard, is a second year and with the rest of the club will be available next year. Warrior Run t6ok the B title in the tourney last year. Gilberton Faat Gilberton was defeated by Frackville for the North Schuylkill title during the past season. This is the club that defeated Frackville during the league season after the latter club rang up a state record for consecutive triumphs in league competition. There are four Seniors on the club. The McCloskey brothers, Ed and Frank, graduate next Spring and their loss will be felt. They are the two high scorers on the team. Also Seniors are Burke and Swedish, the guards. Husowage, the other forward, is a Junior and the replacements are members of the same class. They met Luzerne in the A quarter finals Saturday evening.Muncy Pleased The Crowd .. Muncy, which performed first against Wilkes-Barre township in one of the' best games Friday, quickly won the crowd. This club won 2 of its first B, games in the West Branch League arid then made a right about face to take all of the second half contests. They i are coached by .George Wilt, a University of Illinois alumnus. Hill and Nixon, starting forwards,; and Maust, guard, are the only Sen-1 iors on the club and Muncy will be, bidding for the West Branch title next, season. Old Friends Heard From Mike Walaconia, of Rmgtown, a Bloomsburg alumnus who seldom misses a tourney, was on hand over the weekend. Mike had recently been m Detroit where he visited with two former college classmates, Joe KozlosKy and Joe Schwall. _.AWIt Both of those boys played on Bloomsburg's State title winning basketball club here in 1924. They are natives of Hanover township. "Koz," marrieo and father of two children, is now physical education instructor and swimming coach at Fordson High, in suburban De***oit. Schwall, who married a Bfloomsburg classmate, is physical instructor at one of the Detroit High Schools. He works under George Meade, former coach and physical director here, who for years has been in charge of physical education for the schools of the automobile city. Meade was the coach of Kozlosky and Schwall when they were at Bloomsburg and when he returned to his native mid-West thev went along That was back in 1925. They are still there. What, No Newporter? Ray Hawkins, now teaching at Scott, called our attention to the fact that the Bloomsburg State Teachers College five of the past season was the first Husky court combination since 1920 that did not have a Newport Township High grad on the varsity. There were a number of Newport men who played here before the World War. But in the parade of .athletes who came afterward those who hailed from Newport and played on 4he Bloomsburg basketball varsity were Steve and Louis Lerda, Arch Turner; George Sack who is at Catawissa; Art Jenkins, Stan Zimolzack, Bill Stoker, Hawkins, Casmir Wadas, "Edge" Phillips, Charlie Blackburn, Nick Rudowski and ???'Junie** Ruckle. A team made up of those fellows in their prime, would be some ball club. Most of them, as we recall, were captains at Bloomsburg. Many of them played each year on the hill. There were probably some others from Newport during the period whom we unsintentionally overlooked. Best In Tourney History '> i^ In the eighteen years of the touAey, no day's program even approached the calibre of that staged on Friday. Six of the ten games were decided by two points or less. Victory came to three clubs in the last thirty seconds or lets. , tM It was a classy field and it put on a real show. In fact movie scenario writers couldn't have written better climaxes, If the second round games arrf any indication of what is in store next week-end, then fans who like good basketball should certainly be on hand. Still After A Triumph Sines Catawissa got a gym of its own and started playing indoor basketball, it has never been able to humble the Buffaloes of Locust. It looked on Saturday as though the Lions were going to come hrough. But it was not to be. Bob Snyder, playing his last year for Locust, marshalled his club in the last period after it had trailed practically the entire game. Catawissa had an 18 to 14 lead as the last period opened but a Locust spurt quickly closed the gap and then Miller, a substitute, came through with the climaxing blow, a shot frojn the side that went through Nuremberg, which upset the Panthers in early season but was shellacked here later, is concluding one of its best seasons. The boys played in the Mountain League for the first and did fine work. They took the second half but lost to White Haven in the playoff. The school has only about 100 students and the team for a school of that size is exceptionally good. Four seniors are on the squad and three of them started. They are Schlaugh, the scoring ace; Fisher and Hoats. Conyngham's lanky Mountain started fast but couldn't maintain the pace and Nuremberg caught them at the finish. Warriors Too Powerful Port Township, which couldn't hold the defending class B champions, Warrior Run, in check, won fifth place in the South Schuylkill League. The boys are coached by Vernie Rider, an East Stroudsburg man. They flashed a good forward In Dore but he could get no aid in scoring from his team matss. Dore did most of his point making at the start. Warrior Run gauged his style after intermission and bottled him up. This Must Be The Year Dickson City, which has been sending teams to the games frequently and being blotted out at the start, have won their way into the semifinals. They just topped Ashley, 31- 30, after getting a 15 to 4 lead in the first quarter. Joe Tylenda, of Northwestern, coaches the team with eight Seniors on the squad of team. All of the starters are members of the graduating class. The team Dickson City eliminated, Ashley, had two seniors on its team. The poor start humbled them although the club showed lots of staynig power. Kcrtis and Alusick, the forwards, arc the only Seniors on the team coached by Richard Murphy an East Strcudcburg grad. On The Spot Macusky, a reserve guard on the Ashley team, had the toughest assignment of the tourney. He was fouled just at the gun. If he made the shot it meant an extra period and a chance at victory. The boy took plenty of time but his toss was short and bounced back off the rim. South Schuylkill Champions Port Carbon, which took a good West Mahanoy Township team out of the tourney, won the championship of the Southern Schuylkill League. The team was second in the regular season but came through in the Shaughnessy system play-offs. Five seniors are on the squad and three start. Talby Howes, a West Chester man, coaches the club. Newport Hailed Newport Township, the only club to defeat Berwick twice, was pushed aside by Hazle Township which fin* ished tie with McAdoo in the first half of the Anthracite League and was defeated in the play-off. This is the loop in which Freeland took the title. Hazle had a league record of 12 wins against 4 I jsses. Fulton, whose 15 points did most to push aside Newport, is a Sophomore. There are 3 seniors on the starting team. Vince Boyle, of Albright is the coach.
